I'm building the resin kit of the Vega Scout from the Leif Ericson / Glow In The Dark Mystery Ship. Some basic info: this is a test-pull trial sample; the kit maker (Ed Holt, modelnutz on several modeling boards) is aware that there were some
mold-slippage issues by the hull/neck join. He's also aware that the
windows are not perfect. So having a bit of resin kit experience means
you can easily handle some minor issues. That being said, this is very, very cool!!!
There were no figures in my sample, so I'm using the old Airfix Apollo Astronaut figures, and modified the one
in the left seat with a lady's head - given that the canopy windows
aren't crystal clear, it's going to be hard to see them.
Specifications:
resin Vega: L: 9 and 1/4", W: 7 and 3/4"
Moebius Voyager, L: 9", W: 7 and 5/8"
Final Cost: TBD
Availability: TBD
The resin for the kit is great, and overall, the molding and casting are very good. The resin used for the landing gear was too soft to hold the weight, so I bored the legs out and inserted wire. The kit-maker has been getting regular updates from me as I build, so he is aware of the things that need changing before the kit goes up for sale.
My build-log is on my PictureTrail page, and I'm up to 50 captioned photos so far...
